Hi guys!
I want to set up new PC specially for making movies in Sony Vegas 12. I need a help in choosing best parts in my money limit (about 1200-1500 $) whithout monitor. I’m from Europe and i thinking about buy everything in USA because there is cheaper parts.

Start out by getting the fastest Intel i7 Ivy Bridge CPU and work down from there. For motherboards, look for one that has 4, at a minimum, SATAIII ports (6 gb/s), and 8gb RAM. There are quite a few good SSD drives, and you can’t go wrong with the Samsung 840 Pro (500gb minimum). Video card is your choice, but you should be able to get an upper-end nVidia or ATI Radeon card within your stated budget.
Most importantly, DO NOT SKIMP on the power supply! Get a BRAND NAME unit, 800 watts MINIMUM. If you get a cheap, no-name power supply, you’ll run into issues down the road with system stability and pull your hair out troubleshooting.
Personally, I order all my stuff from NewEgg. Prices are good and no hassle returns.

Before you buy the Samsung 840, read this torture-test report.
I was about to buy the Samsung until I read it. The Samsung, although probably useable, did not fare will in the group. After reading it I got a Corsair Neutron 480 GTX.

The Neutron seemed to have a good, steady performance. The Samsung read-times graph was all over the place.
